Wedding Guest Dresses
Posted on June 21st, 2010 by Margaret. Filed under Luxe for Less.
This weekend I spent a ton of time at the mall scouring racks of dresses for a dress that’s appropriate for a summer black-tie optional wedding coming up in a few weeks. Finding a dress is really tough for me… as a girl with curves it is difficult to find something that fits right and is also appropriate. The dress cannot be too short (knee length is best) and should not show too much cleavage or take attention away from the bride.
Also, with weddings the color is also a touchy subject, because wedding guests should never ever wear a white dress (though a white/black print might be ok if the print is not predominantly white). In addition, red is often inappropriate for Chinese weddings because that is the color traditionally reserved for the bride. Black is also an iffy color for Chinese weddings and depend on the taste of the bride and groom - some people believe that all black or navy blue is very dressy and appropriate for black-tie weddings, while others (like my relatives) believe that wearing all black or navy blue to wedding is bad luck because it looks like funeral-wear.
So you can imagine how tough it is to find a cute dress given all those constraints! Well I probably tried on dozens of dresses and found a few that might work for my body type and for a summer wedding … some fit the constraints and some didn’t…
